Characterising structural variation in the canola genome

以油菜籽基因组结构变异为特征的。该项目旨在开发和应用基因组工具来识别和表征油菜(澳大利亚的一种主要出口作物)的结构性基因组变异，以更好地了解基因组进化和加速油菜育种。DNA测序的进展使我们对作物基因组、它们的进化和对农艺性状遗传的影响的理解发生了革命性的变化。个体间基因组结构的变异可能在重要农艺性状的遗传中起重要作用。最近的技术进步使人们能够在以前不可行的规模上详细描述结构变化。预期结果是加强全球粮食安全，支持澳大利亚农村经济，并加快其他主要作物的改良。

Characterising structural variation in the canola genome. This project aims to develop and apply genomic tools to identify and characterise structural genome variation in canola, a major Australian export crop, to better understand genome evolution and accelerate canola breeding. Advances in DNA sequencing revolutionise our understanding of crop genomes, their evolution and impact on the inheritance on agronomic traits. Variation of genome structure between individuals could be important in the inheritance of important agronomic traits. Recent advances in technology permit the detailed characterisation of structural variation on a previously unfeasible scale. Anticipated outcomes are enhanced global food security, supporting rural Australian economies, and accelerating the improvement of other major crops.
